Abstract

Periodontal disease management encompasses a systematic approach involving diagnosis, treatment, and maintenance. Effective periodontal therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation by registered dental hygienists to determine the type and severity of the disease. This assessment is crucial as the treatment plan is tailored to the specific needs of each patient. A key aspect of periodontal therapy is the prevention of plaque accumulation, which can rapidly turn into calculus or oral biofilm within 24 hours if not removed. Therefore, maintaining excellent oral hygiene habits is essential for successful therapy and disease management. This review highlights the importance of early detection, proper treatment protocols, and the need for ongoing maintenance to prevent the progression of periodontal disease and ensure optimal oral health outcomes.
